Our maiden voyage of the @nurdlecoasts Trommel was a big success! Thanks to our Sea Hugger community for coming out! With your help and the Nurdle Trommel, we collected four full buckets containing tons of Styrofoam, microplastic, macroplastic, and fishing gear. We were surprised by the amount of Styrofoam. It’s really hard to detect and easily mistaken for shells. Can you tell the difference between the shell and the Styrofoam in the first picture? Most people can’t, and it is highly dangerous to the marine ecosystem.
Thanks to @hassettacehardware, @livezolaus, and @newleafcmarket for your donations.

Checked out the Vortex exhibit by Douglas Coupland at the Vancouver Aquarium.
It illustrates how much plastic pollination people have let out into the Earth’s oceans.
We need to change our habits and protect our environment.

Sadly it’s true... although it’s a real faff, you gotta wash out any recyclable plastic packaging before you put it into recycling ♻️ Why? Because any sign of contamination to that batch will send the WHOLE lot to landfill. This is not a drill people 🚨If you want a more in-depth guide on how to reduce your waste, I’ve written the guide ‘How to live with less plastic in 2019’ for @plasticoceansuk . Click the 🔗 in my bio!

A few plastic free tips for you... these are some easy changes we can all do to begin to eliminate single use plastic from our lives... •No1: Don’t forget your reusable coffee cup make it a daily habit to carry it with you and you’ll never have to worry about having to use a single use cup again! •No2: Take your shopper everywhere, I love my basket one and looks fab full of plastic free shopping. Always handy to have whenever you need to grab a few bits and never need to buy a plastic carrier again! Win win! •No3: Shampoo bottles to shampoo bars, just think how many bottles you’ll save from landfill every year... it’s a no brainier! Fab swap! Find the one suited to your hair and you’ll never look back. •No4: Make sure your cotton buds are plastic free, these are like straws millions get used and get in places you would never think off with loads ending up in our oceans! Swap them out for bamboo or paper ones! •No5: Have your tried wax wraps... get rid of your cling film and swap to these they are reusable and a perfect swap to get rid of plastic!

Happy swapping! 🌍🌿🌳

#STPIS 🌍 Biovita - Saving the Planet in Style

Good morning world! I am spending the day at a sea turtle rescue and rehabilitation center here @grandcaymanmarriott Learning about these amazing creatures and our effect on their environment was so eye opening!

"We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them". - Albert Einstein
For the most part Thor was invoked for protection and problem-solving.
Its time to awaken your inner Thor!

The sun set is so beautiful, especially on the beaches of South East Asia 🌏 Don’t forget to clean up after yourself so we can keep seeing these beautiful sunsets 🌅
Try avoiding plastics, or switch to reusable plastics to preserve our environment

Mamá Orbe is a Hostel on Cuevita Beach in the pacific coast of Colombia. Every day they release baby turtles into the sea around 5 pm. They are an eco farm run by locals who work out of the goodness of their hearts to protect these turtles. If you get a chance to go, it is a beautiful experience. #savetheturtles#ecofarm#bahiasolano#protecttheocean#mamaorbe

Hey everyone,
Beth Gower and I have started Facebook and Instagram pages to share our journey of litter picking, reducing our plastic use, recycling, educating ourselves about how to better treat the planet and our environment, and the consequences of what is happening, and will continue happening if we don't make changes.
We are not the only beings on this planet, our acts are causing awful harm to the creatures we share our beautiful Earth with, and it is us who need to change this.
We want a planet that future generations can love and explore like us and so many before us have been able to. If changes don't happen, irreparable damage will be caused, and future generations will have this taken from them. In order to stop this, we must all make changes now.
Please like and follow our pages, for regular updates on what we are doing, and for tips/hints on what you can do to make an impact.
